He’s a 3 star. I’m not saying he’s a bad prospect but his football prospects are way down the list in comparison to wrestling. I would be shocked if he’s not completely focused on wrestling within a year
4-star by rivals.
And he has a football offer from Michigan. But yeah. He listed his top 4 and Michigan wasn't in it, so it sounds like he's going to do dual-sport wherever he goes. At least that will be the plan to start.
A lot can happen but him missing his junior football season definitely would slow down his football prospects. That being said, he is a freak athlete and a few good camps (in shorts and t shirts) and he can rack up some big time offers in a summer.
The way the rules are setup, he has a full scholarship offer by default on any football team so I imagine all the football coaches (Franklin, Campbell, Ferentz, Gundy) were informed and signed off on it. That used to be nice in that he doesn't count against wrestling scholarships but with roster cap rules, it doesn't let coaches add another kid.
He absolutely is a legit football prospect though, have to remember, none of us are Georgia/Oregon/Texas/Ohio State etc and we regularly take freak athletes who have a high ceiling but need polishing.

This kid is already 6'4" and weighing in at 220 as an inside linebacker. Once a D1 football strength/speed/conditioning program comes into play, he will be up to 250 with all muscle weight and is going to be even more dangerous on the mat.
That’s all well and good but my point is that his football prospects are no where near wrestling. If he was ranked 3rd in the Rivals 250 and had offers from all the blue bloods that would be a much different thing
I agree 101%. 1% more than DEWrestlingFan. Remember that please...
Reminds me of Kueter. He was a higher wrestling prospect than football. He gave up football after his college freshman year to focus on wrestling. He went with the sport he was a better prospect for.
